Made possible by funding provided through the Office of Academic Affairs, the John Marshall Summer Creative Works and Scholarship Awards and the John Marshall University Scholars Awards give faculty members the opportunity to produce significant creative or scholarly output.
Projects funded through the awards program can involve research, design, development, field study, creative work or performance. The program is structured so participating faculty can produce creative or scholarly output—including presentations, publications, exhibits or performances—at the end of the award period.
